On this page, you can find the list of references used to create this site.

As a principle, I don't mark the sources on the text because it makes reading more difficult. Also, marking all the sources with in-text citations is somewhat impossible. That's because I have read all the pieces on the list at some point of my life, but have not written the texts on this site with a reference book open next to me. In other words, I don't know exactly which book to refer in any single case. Another reason for not marking all the sources meticulously is that because this is not an academic paper, I don't have to mark the exact sources, which is a refreshing change for me!

The only exception is when I directly quote a source for an explanation of the grammar or take an example sentence directly from the source. All the other examples sentences I've made off the top of my head combining the vocabulary I know with the grammar I've learned from these various sources. So, if there happens to be exactly the same example sentence on my page as in some published work and I have not cited the work in my text, it's just a pure coincidence.

The references used to build this site are mostly written in Japanese, so I also give the names of the authors, books etc. written in Japanese characters, too.

The list of references is still very very very incomplete, sorry! I'll add the missing ones when I have more time.
